I did a quick check of the guys tied for 1st, almost every single one of them spent all ther 'cap dollars' on forwards and one good goalie. The other goalie and all four d-men are one dollar hits against the cap and mostly guys I've never heard of. Apparently it's a good way to go, as I spent 11 dollars on five backend guys who have gained me a total of four points.

Hi Jordan. I click the little pic, choose file, select upload, and get this error. Sorry there was an error uploading the photo. Photobucket is all goofy now, so I am going to have to find the direct link.

Jordan, just a thought. Officially, backfires has been open for what, two weeks, and there is already 12,100 topics under the main menu. That's 864/day, 36/hr, almost one new topic every two minutes. A bit of information overload, possibly one of the reasons why no one is posting, I did a quick count of pages 1-10 (100 topics), and there were only 11 topics with replies. Might want to consider toning down the rapid topic posting to 5 - 10 per day. With less topics, people might actually read them, and hence respond.

The Cars by Make section will never disappear totally. It's an important part of integrating the site and blog's commenting with Backfires. However, soon it will be moved out of the way, and will only serve as a forum section that feeds up into the main car discussion forum.

In other words, Cars by Make will be out of sight, and will just send popular threads to the general car discussion area.

We're building this entire community from scratch, so it's going take a little while before anything's perfect.

Chris Neil is not one of my favourite players - he always looks like a little kid with a pout that's about to burst into tears. Anyway, last night I near fell off the couch when they showed the entire Penguin bench laughing at him. =)
